It’s always land value plus house value. A friend of mine bought an old farm house on a large piece of land for less than a used car’s worth. Why so cheap? The land would be worth a fortune alone, but the farm house was a few hundred years old (take that, USA!), in a bad shape, and listed as a protected building, i.e. he had to do any kind of “making it habitable” under close scrutiny of bureaucrats and historians. The family worked their asses off every weekend for over a decade and spent a fortune on historically correct materials.
How much land, and where?
Here’s the listing: https://www.coldwellbanker.com/va/bumpass/123-plum-tree-cir/lid-P00800000GOgAeJSbmqGcg9vT9KiGUwuaVQwfqdI
Is that “bump ass” or “bum pass?”
I like the sofa opposite the bunk bed, nothing better than watching people sleep.
One acre. By a lake. But I still feel it’s ridiculous. I hate the idea of what’s market value. To me it’s what is decent as a human being.
Somebody you know is selling an acre of land on a lake, not a shed. This land is probably worth that much with no improvements at all
Op doesn’t understand how badly mfers want to live on a lake in the woods. Electrical and a shed is a bonus.

The acre and the boat slip. The dock fees in lake anna are $1,300 a year the slip alone is worth at least $60,000
Land where I live runs about $1M/acre.
Decent’s got nothing to do with it.
Yeah $1m/acre isn’t moral
